Eutaw Place Temple is a former Reform Jewish synagogue, now Freemasonry hall, located at 1307 Eutaw Place in the Bolton Hill neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States.

History[edit]

The temple was constructed to serve the German Jewish immigrant community. Originally built as a synagogue for the Temple Oheb Shalom congregation, the property was sold to the Prince Hall Masons in 1960, and is called Prince Hall Grand Lodge.^[2] It was built in 1892 as the second home of the Oheb Shalom congregation, and borrows its Byzantine Revival design elements from the Great Synagogue of Florence.^[3] Joseph Evans Sperry of Baltimore was the architect.^[4]

The exterior is white Beaver Dam marble. The main space is approximately 82 square feet (7.6 m²), capped by a series of vaults and the dome and surrounded by galleries, seating about 2,200 people. The temple originally cost $225,000 to build.^[5]

The Eutaw Place Temple is a major contributing structure in the Bolton Hill Historic District, designated by Maryland Historical Trust on September 17, 1971;^[1] and a contributing property in the Baltimore National Heritage Area.^[6]
